I'm sat here very stressed! and worried and feeling a bit panicky!!

I am not emptying my bladder very well which I know about!! Urodynamics and MAG3 confirmed!

The last week or so my lower back has been aching!! Kidneys?? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!

I've just put a urethral catheter in which is sooooooo uncomfortable!! Drained 500mls into a bed bag straight away!

Just concerned about if I have done any long term damage to my kidneys!!!

I'm due to see my consultant Urologist and we had tallked about options but I just needed to get that off my chest.
Life is just to short not to have fun!

Sounds like regular self catheterisation might be on the cards to keep your bladder emptying regularly. Some folk only need to do it once a day. I guess your urologist will be discussing options with you. Self cathing does get a lot easier as you do it more.
